Ficus Padana Burm.f is potential source of anthocyanin based on phytochemical test result.This study focuses on the analysis and simple characterisation of anthocyanins from Ficus Padana Burm.f fruits. The fresh Ficus Padana Burm.f fruits were extracted with the acidified ethanol with citric acid at room temperature for 12 hours in the darkenvironment.The pigment was identified with UV-Vis Spectroscopy, HPLC-DAD, and LC-MS. The pigment are pelargonidin 3-(6”-p-coumarylglucoside)-5-(4”’-Malonylglucoside) and pelargonidin 3-(6’’-Malonylglucoside). The second one is a major compound that taking up to 91% of the total anthocyanin content in Ficus padana Burm.f. The results confirmed that Ficus Padana Burm.f contained acylated anthocyanin pigments.
